Weight gain at 34 weeks, is this too much?....

[fudgecake251]

I was 137lbs when I fell pregnant, I now weight 166lbs as of this morning. I got a shock when I stood on the scales because it's seems to be going on really quickly. I am 34 weeks and 2 days, so have about 5 or 6 weeks to go. Is a 29lb weight gain at this stage too much?

Hi

How much did you put on in your first pregnancy?

Try not to worry about it too much.

I put on 4 stone in first pregnancy and lost it in 5 months and have already put on 3 stone this time, although I was told yesterday I am measuring a few weeks ahead.

I asked midwife a month ago about weight gain and she said that everybody is different and hormones can affect weight too.

No that's only 2 stone. I'm 31 weeks and gone up about 22/23 lbs which I'm happy with. Last time I think I put on about 2-2.5 stone by the end.

I put on 3 stones with my first (son). I'm having a little girl this time. I had A LOT of water (even the midwife commented on that in the hopsital). I'm just a bit depressed at how quickly it seems to be going on, and all the sites online say you should put on between 25 and 35lbs, in which case I've only got another 6lbs within that, and the way it's going on I'm not sure I'll stay within that unless I practically starve myself.

I think your weight gain is just fine.

I think you are in range, it is not excessive.
you might also just gaining water weight, i gained about 6kg (13lbs) til week 32, then i kept gaining more and more without overeating or having giant baby (baby weighs now 2.8kg, according to the ultrasound machine). all together i gained 15kg (33 lbs) at 39 weeks!!!!!!!!!

No- I think ur pretty normal! At least I hope so as I've gained almost the same and I thought I was doing well...

I'm pretty similar to you, I was about 165 and at 30 weeks I'm near 190. (I'm 5ft 10in). I'll probably be thirty pounds up here soon. I'm trying to eat well, still walking and doing some yoga, and baby is healthy. Lets make it through the next stretch and figure out how to get in shape after baby comes

I've gained 49lbs. 3.5 stones. I don't know where though?!! I was 129lbs before. I'm now 39 weeks and have nice neat bump. I'm sure it will come off so I'm not concerned

So glad to read this and see I'm not the only one feeling this way. I don't weigh myself often but my husband commented on how heavy I was when I sat on his lap earlier so we were curious.

The day I got my BFP I was 130lbs, and today at 32 weeks I'm 155lbs! 25lbs weight gain with 8 weeks still to go. The funny (confusing) part is, my bump is measuring perfect size, and people keep telling me how small I am and that I don't look like I've gained weight. I still fit in a lot of my pre-pregnancy clothes, even though I can't do up my jeans, so I don't actually understand where all this weight is. It must ALL be in my belly/stomach area, because I used to have a tiny waist, and the rest of my body doesn't seem to have changed.

I'm so freaked out that I've gained so much, yet apart from my belly I look no bigger!

At 34 weeks I put on about the same as you.. Well I put on 28 pounds at 33 weeks anyways...
My weight gain has slowed alot the last 6 weeks, at my last appointment which was a week ago today I had put on 33 pounds and im now two days from due. Im pretty sure its a good weight gain I wouldnt worry unless your dr says there is something to worry bout. I gained alot of weight between 27 and 33 weeks.

29 pounds is fine. I've gained 31 so far and usually gain 35 to 37 pounds with each of my pregnancies (but thankfully lose it all eventually). My doctor said the recommended weight gain is 25 to 35 pounds for women whose pre-pregnancy weight was normal. But my OB also said today that 40 to 45 pounds is something she often sees in reality. And I recently met two different women who said they gained 75 pounds during their pregnancies!

I was 130 when I got my bfp and at 33 weeks, I'm weighing in at 170. My doctors say I'm spot on. No worries.
I jut hope lots of weight comes off quickly!

I started at 150lb and I was 196 last time I was weighed. I haven't stepped on scale since out of fear but I have an appointment on Friday..I'll know then. With my first son I gained 40 pounds but lost most of it within three weeks(all but 15 pounds). I left the hospital 20 pounds lighter so must have been water, baby and stuff. So I don't think your weight gain isn't so bad..

 

[MrsClark24]

They say between 24-36lbs I think...? Try not to worry to much!

Im 30 weeks and have gained 32lb as of this morning. I have been the same give or take a lb for 4 weeks now so im hoping i can stay around this weight as i lost 45lb before getting pg and dont want to start all over again!
